Thank you so much! Ok for a complete video coming soon! I may forget to reach out 🙃

Hahahahahaha you now know my age 😉

@@LeafyConversations 😆

You should! I absolutely am obsessed with them!

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much!! 😊

Thanks! I’m really excited to see if it works. This would be huge win for convenience and no fungus gnats!

@@LeafyConversations yesss 🙌🙌

Thank you so much!! Your advice is very welcome here! I am slowly learning what they like and I also live in Ohio. Anthuriums are not difficult as some folks have said; I don’t put them under grow lights (well I am experimenting with some) to see how they do. I am not having to much luck with the Bessea is it slow growing for you? It’s been a little over a month since I made this video, so I guess that really isn’t long enough. 😆 Thank you for watching and supporting my channel!

@LeafyConversations no my bessea grows fast for me. But give her time. After shipping sometimes they take some time. She might be working on roots. And I agree anthuriums really are not that hard once you figure out the lighting and feed and humidity.

@tropicalplantmomma Ok!

Thanks for letting me know! It is growing a new leaf now slow grower. My opinion is still out on both of these plants. I’m not a fan so far.

Thank you so much for watching!

Hey how about that! This video was about two months ago I think. I am now in plastic clear pots. They are a life saver! Anthuriums are my addiction. I have a Michelle coming Tuesday and can’t wait!

​@LeafyConversations oh good. Glad you switched over to plastic for the anthuriums. And yes I also use the clear pots. I have a few hybrids of the Michelle but not the pure one. I have all kinds. My queen has just put out a new leaf and it's so exciting. All of my anthuriums have new growth on them right now. Ya small world for sure.

That is so exciting to see all this new growth! My queen you saw in this video (both of them) but mainly the big one I repotted at the end has a new leaf the size of my forearm! I absolutely adore this plant! Do you create videos? If not you should!

Mine isn’t a pure Michelle it’s crossed with Docblock I’m very new to this world of plants. 😊

Thanks for letting me know! I bought from them many times I do like their plants. I just don’t know why they’d put a Anthurium is such a heavy potting mix? Maybe they repotted it for the trip? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have a fantastic day!!!

Thank you so much for that positive feedback!!!! I have done lots of planty chores and plant care videos in the past. I started videoing back in December 2023 when starting to buy tropical plants. It’s easy to burn out having to do all the setup, prep just to video. I have videos scheduled up through July, so you’re set for now. 😀 I appreciate you watching and for your comments that means a lot! Now that I have a gimble (you’ll hear about that in the next video) landscape mode it is. I am not comfortable with no drainage maybe in time, but all my plants except for the Colocasia and succulents are in my aroid mix. Have a great day!

I don’t like the look of them either. I bought extra tall clear pots they (my anthurium) are in and I add tree fern around the stem then put my bonsai jack grit mix over it as a covering.

Thanks. I didn’t have an end game with my PPP. It was the fourth time I did a video on her. I hate moss poles, so my first video I cut her down and put her in water. I wanted a full PPP really. I am a lot farther along now than when I did this video. 👏🏻

Thank you for watching ☺️

So far this beautiful Queen is doing well. I can't say I have mastered it, but I am getting closer! I just bought a Besseae I suspect that is just as difficult as the ones you listed. Wish me luck!

A fellow lover of the Queens !! They truly fascinate me. So far I haven’t found them finicky and I hope that continues. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!!!

LOL! 😆 it’s hard to find the full truth isn’t it? I have been down to the one leaf since I did that video. The two little leaves died. It’s been in a plastic pot with airy mix and I’m just now getting a new leaf. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching my video that means a lot! I may end up in PON at some point. I’m slowly graduating from one stage to another. 😆

@@LeafyConversations yeah alocasia are known for leaf dropping I was part of the one leaf club where pretty much all alocasia had one leaf until I started using pon

@theeclecticgent502 oh no!

Thank you so much for watching! When I watched it again it brought back all the sadness I had then. That beautiful plant is just now sprouting a new leaf for me. I love her so much I don’t find them fussy at all! I actually watched a video on Skelton leaves. I just wish I would have seen it back when it broke I would have done it for sure it was so beautiful!

Oh my gosh thank you so much for commenting and for subscribing to my channel! I have seen a lot of my plants drip water in the mornings! I try to be consistent in watering it’s never a 3 day or 4 day though it’s when is it not wet and my finger tells me. I hope you are right about the edema and that is all it is. Everything looked really good in the root system. Thank you again for helping me and watching my channel!

@@LeafyConversations my pleasure! That’s what it’s all about! Helping each other. I started a channnel in January and I gotta say YT has been the BEST Planty platform IMO. Everyone has been so nice 😊

@@Planted386 I enjoy your channel! I agree that is what it’s all about!

With anthuriums as long as they are giving growth they are usually good they will take a lot of energy out of older leaves to make new which will make the smaller older leaves yellow. as far as the specks anthurium leaves are super sensitive and fragile. Even touching one emerging or being rubbed up against during shipping could leave a scar on the front or back or both of the leaf.i think this was shipping scars as I call em. Edema would look like a bruise usually the dripping of water is called guttation and is basically your plant sweating never had this with my Anthurium but I guess it could happen. I use osmocote also and have rooms of Anthurium lol they are usually heavy feeders and really require a good fertilizer but a lot could burn them because again leaves and roots are sensitive. I usually just put a few balls in the soil and don't mix in my soil. The dried root at the top was probably an Ariel root during growth that rotted from too much water or dried out due to not enough probably at the greenhouse. I think you did good just putting him back in. also leaving yellowing leaves on or I would because if you cut that off while the plant is using it for energy it may start taking it from another again casing yellowing. Hope this helps 😊. You got this, I don't know how many plants I've killed learning lol.

@@theeclecticgent502 Wow thank you so much for reaching out to me and explaining this so in depth. I guess it makes sense a new leaf would need energy from another. Will that older leaf die off is that how it works? Only my Palidiforum sweats, my Queens do not. My Monstera, Alocasia and Colocasia’s sweat as I call it. I will for sure be careful on fertilizing I use Jack’s Fertilizer 20-20-20 every two weeks it says. I will simply use it every other watering. Again, thank you so much for watching and reaching out in the comments!

Oh my yes! I try to avoid USPS now too! I will check out those stores! Thank you so much for your support and for commenting I appreciate it so much! Happy planting!

Oh thank you so much and for watching!!! 🙏🏻🌱🥰

@@LeafyConversations you're quite welcome 😊

Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to try redoing it for a better look. 👀

Yes! Goodwill has so many cheap ones. Thank you for watching! I’m watching your new Polly now so cute. 🥰

Hahahaha he is isn’t he? As I do more videos I’m pulling them in more if I can. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! 🪴

@@LeafyConversations you're quite welcome 😊

Thank you 🙏🏻 it’s such a learning process isn’t it?? I’m so glad you liked my plants 🪴!!

@@LeafyConversations it really is 😂💗

Thank you! Hahahaha I could never remember what they were called! I agree free plants are the greatest I can never find those though LOL! 😆 Thank you so much Nikki for watching my video and commenting! I am really hoping to meet more planty people this way. Many blessings! 🪴🌱

@LeafyConversations A corm is nearly a free plant. You said you had a vid saved on how to grow it when it's ready. I haven't found any corms in my alocasias yet but they are looking so lovely, I'm not game to mess around with them. I think I have about 20 and I just keep them moist all the time and I never have any trouble unless a pest gets to them. An outside pest just flew into my television screen. I must have brought it in on my clothes 😱 I have an absolute plague of leaf beetles on my dahlias. If they're inside I'm doomed.

@@nikkihamson2586 I do have one saved. I am with you I haven’t had the desire to try growing my own. My goal isn’t to propagate the same plant over and over I like new. Hahahahaha. Thank you for subscribing to my channel Nikki that means so much to me!!!! 🫶🏻 I am absolutely fearful of pests coming into my house on my plants!!! Keep me updated!

@LeafyConversations I really love propagating but then I tend to give plants away to visitors. 2 leaf beetles have now been squished on my TV screen. I'm terrified because of the damage they did to my dahlias. I've sprayed and sprayed and there are still THOUSANDS. I think I'll have to get some stronger poison but I have kale growing right next to the dahlias. I feed the kale to my cockatiels so I'm worried about the poison. There's no kale atm anyway because the leaf beetles have eaten everything. I had a lively little herb garden that started to get aphids and I handed my daughter a spray bottle and said go get em. Unfortunately I gave her the wrong bottle. We no longer have aphids but we can't eat anything from the herb garden for 6 months. Oh the dramas of planty life.

I’m not an outdoor gardener, but we had those awful Beatles attacking on of our new young maple trees with the purple leaves and killed it. They are brutally hard to get rid of. I’m sorry about your herb garden 🥺. You might want to invest in an outdoor enclosed shower 🧼 before going back into the house so they don’t ride in on you. Reminds me of those stink bugs. 😣

I would appreciate you following me and I appreciate your feedback. I just got a microphone after this video, so I hope you come back. If not, thanks for watching!

@@LeafyConversations i will! Thank you for your content! 💚

Oh thank you so much! I’m so glad you found it relaxing and love my plants! Have a marvelous night!!

@@LeafyConversations thank you! You too 💜

Thanks for the feedback! So far it’s doing great! I don’t need to water it as much as my other tropical plants mainly due to the 8 inch pot and the root ball still has original soil around it somewhat. I appreciate you watching!! Have a blessed planty day! 🪴💪🏻

I’m so happy you found it so calming Lyn! Thank you so much for always sharing your support of my channel it means so very much. 💪🏻🪴

Oh thank you! Yes they are quite challenging, but I feel like I may have them figured out. I’m planning on doing more videos on them soon! Thank you so much for watching and commenting supporting my channel.

@@LeafyConversations you’re welcome 💓

Luckily we didn’t buy it! Mom and I are just starting our journey of plants and neither of us knew bugs came along with it. 🤣

I could have sworn I commented to this post 🤔 luckily we didn’t buy it. I’m glad I checked first. Thanks for watching and commenting many blessings! 🥰🪴

Oh you should do it!!!! I love it this way and she’s doing so well! I’m considering getting another glass pot for it to show off the big leaves more. Thanks for watching and commenting many blessings! 🥰🪴

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! With all the hype out there I thought for sure I’d be a Debbie downer. Hahahahaha. Thanks for watching and commenting many blessings! 🥰🪴

I’m so glad that you liked my pink, princess water propagation! I know a lot of folks will disagree with what I’ve done, but that is how I wanted to handle it and I think she looks beautiful! Three weeks have passed since I’ve done this video and she’s doing great. I see a few roots starting to grow now thank you Lynn for always supporting me and my channel. Have a glorious planty Happy Friday.!!!!!

Fantastic!!! Aren’t they beautiful?!!!

Thank you Lyn! It truly is stunning I am in awe of how beautiful it truly is thank you for always supporting me I appreciate you so much! Have a lovely Sunday too! 🌱🪴🌵

Oh no! I’m sad to hear you lost all your beautiful lithops Lyn. They are the most difficult plant I own so far, but as I traverse down the tropical plant addiction I have a feeling I might run into something just as difficult or worse. 🤭 Thank you for watching and supporting me and my channel!! 💗 Happy Friday to you and tons of plant power!!! 💪🏻

Oh thank you Lyn for your words and for watching and supporting my channel!!! 🥰
